PARP Mouse, Unlabeled, Clone: C2-10, BD

Description

• PARP [Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase] is a 113kDa nuclear chromatin associated enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of ADP-ribose units from NAD+ to a variety of nuclear proteins including topoisomerases, histones, and PARP itself
• The catalytic activity of PARP is increased in nonapoptotic cells following DNA damage, and PARP is thought to play an important role in mediating the normal cellular reponse to DNA damage and is a target of the caspase protease activity associated with apoptosis
• During apoptosis, PARP is cleaved from a 113kDa intact form into 89kDa and 24kDa fragments
• This process separates the amino-terminal DNA-binding domain of the enzyme from the C-terminal catalytic domain resulting in the loss of normal PARP function
• Although the role of PARP in apoptosis remains to be elucidated, PARP cleavage is considered to be a marker of apoptosis
• This antibody has been reported to recognize an epitope located within the DNA-binding domain of the enzyme
